  1. Missouri is reverting back to the mean. There was a reason they successfully navigated their first couple of years after moving to the SEC East. The division was down, and Missouri had an offense that was built to compete in the Big 12. Meaning you had to score to keep up. After a coaching change, and subsequent loss of the Texas recruiting they enjoyed as a Big 12 member. They now are forced to go head to head with programs that have spent decades building recruiting relationships. I live in a part of Georgia that sends a large number of football players to DI schools every year. And I can say with authority that getting an offer from Missouri is only slightly better then App State or Georgia Southern.
  2. I thought of him as an honorable guy. But, I know enough about him to know he isn’t from Texas and kept residence there to benifit from the much better tax code then that of a currupt Massachusetts. Just as my family, and many others have done.. He was shrewd doing business. He may have inherited money. But it appears he didn’t have any problems making more of it when opportunity knocked. This tells me aggy had to give him something to be associated with CS. No one goes there for free.
  3. Florida is a team that tries to force their opponents into playing their style of game. Control the clock, punt well to maintain field position and use their defense and avoid turnovers. Against a team that actually has an offense they are basically fucked.
  4. Sorry, I am missing your point? Are you saying that a school with a winning record of 1 game is better then a .500 team? Because that doesn’t always work out. My example would be Oklahoma State playing the same Georgia schedule. With the ineptitude of all of the SEC teams Georgia played outside of Alabama, OSU could very easily have put up a half of hundred on them. And I’m pretty confident they would have beat MTS, Austin Peay and UMass. Yet their record doesn’t necessarily tell the entire story of their team. Just my take.
  5. Naw, that showed 6 posts ago. Prior to “Z” calling him out I had trouble trying to figure who’s school he actually followed.
  6. I would say these are Georgias best wins. They lost to the other marquee teams in LSU and Bama. Nothing special. Actually, I feel much, much better about our chances playing them now that I have examined their schedule closer. I know Swift is a real deal running back. But he tee’d off on some shitty teams to get those numbers. Missouri Florida Auburn
  7. USC Stanford and I would say Pitt. In no particular order.
  8. Speaking of which. Is anything planned for a Surly take over tailgate?
  9. Interesting that he didn’t bother to address that.
  10. Don’t read em, actually pretty simple. Short enough?
  11. Exactly. Not a single bastard in power at Alabama gives a shit about a man’s integrity or their families well being. Simply win. They showed what they were all about with Perkins, Curry, Stallings, and to a lessor degree Shula and Price. And Stallings got them a title, and still had to deal with his family being constantly attacked by their media machine.
  12. Yes I do, in the same way as if you bought it at $138 and cashed it out at $218 earned you 40%. But that wasn’t my point. The use of those figures was not to give stock advice. But to show Facebook is still very active and strong in the market place. Answering the poster who posed the question “people still post on FB?”...Which obviously they still do.
  13. We have over 100 years of data on aggy. And aggy will always be a.600 maybe .675 in their good years type of program. With the most transcendent player in their history they couldn’t even find a way in which to win their division, much less their conference championship. When they write books about them, they still end in failure. The Junction boys didn’t win shit. For all the fanfare they talk of that era they still couldn’t beat Texas. And lost Bryant in the process. What other universities would even consider writing a book about failing to win........anything? Im not saying they haven’t had some successful people come out of that shit hole. I just know when they call role it is a short fucking list.
  14. I never cared about this conference shit until it became the ESPN narrative AND started unfairly influencing the sport. Fuck em. If every SEC team lost I would be happy, and I don’t give a shit who beats them.
  15. At a current stock price of $138 and a 52 week high of $218 ima gonna guess a shit load.
  16. Had he got to the playoffs none of this happens. That was the arrangement since the day of the suspension. The OSU goon squad (aka board) wanted a title. They held that over Urban, and why he showed all of the drama. He was the kid who had a $50 putt in front of him, with only $10 in his pocket. Who the fuck are they trying to kid?
  17. I think this stuff is the wrong thread, but.....I think you’re missing one very important point. De’andre Swift will be the best back Texas faces all year. The measurable difference between OU and Georgia’s lines are that OU has a good enough line for average running backs to get some yards. Georgia’s line only needs to create a small crease and Swift will be behind the linebackers facing guys that will not only not like tacking him. I’m not so sure they can one on one. Holyfield is physical as well. But absolutely nothing compared to Swift. Again, this will be the best running back that Texas will have faced over the last several years. Texas must sell out to not let Swift break contain or it will be a long day. And he has a knack for cutting back once past the LOS and getting an additional 15 because the defense has moved laterally and allowed voids along the line. The guy is a true NFL running back. Make Fromm beat us.
  18. But funny thing about “we’re Texas” and the money. For as much as money Texas has, and I’m sure it’s a shit load. And how far above everyone else we may feel about playing the role of the Jones’. How do you quantify return? Universities believed to posses far fewer resources have gotten far more return. Looking at schools like UConn, Duke, Kentucky, all have managed to be far more successful all while being perceived as having far, far fewer resources then Texas. Unfortunately this holds true in football as well. Though we do have a recent title in 05, the other three occurred in a far different era. Only baseball has managed to rise up and go title hunting at least once a decade. So where exactly does this perceived advantage of wealth come into play? When over the course of the last 45 years the results simply do not support that having more money then the other guys equals any more success then those that barely get by?
  19. No surprise. Most believe Helton’s days Are numbered and Kliffy can step right in. Some may not agree but College football is better with a good SC team. No one else in the PAC (including Washington when they compete for a title) comes close to what SC can do when the Trojans force the media to focus attention on the west coast.
  20. My opinion is any criticism is allowed related to football. Nothing is allowed about the family or the kids personal life. That becomes part of a conversation of a professional, and Hager is not that. Im also old school about antics. They are fun only when everything is going good. But, they tend to come back to haunt you if they don’t. Most of what we see today is the results of modern technology that allows things to be seen and heard by more people then at any other time in history in real time. And the consequences can be far more harsher. The referees too were aware of his actions and what he said prior to the game. You don’t think that those comments could of had even a little bit of influence of them deciding to keep their flags in their pockets? People are people, they don’t always behave in the way you think they will. Or say they will. We all have our bias, our feelings and our own issues. We spend a lot of time only showing others what we want them to see.
  21. Of course it was. Now we know why all the lawyers were sitting around him during the process. When he wasn’t under a criminal investigation. It was a University issue where the schools President, etc acted as judge, jury, executioner. Urban wasn’t going into that without counsel. Not with north of $14 million on the line. And we can guess why Smith lost his shit a few weeks ago. He received his end of the deal that wasn’t what he thought it would be, went out on a bender and started hemorrhaging accusations. OSU had to get him back under his rock. Then we see Urb’s wife crying after the Michigan game. And as far as I’m concerned, she is still the one that can cause the most problems. If she somehow gets angry, she could hurt them all. Then you wonder who is still out there who may know about all of this shit going back to Urb’s Florida days. And how do they feel about it? Money makes people do things they claim they never would do.
  22. Same reason they pronounce Houston as House-ton Or Martinez as Mart-tin-ez. They couldn’t find a hooked on phonics CD.
  23. He looked quite happy on TV today. Smiling and talking about never playing in the Rose Bowl. Like a shit ton of pressure was taken off his back.
  24. Norman Park, wanna hook up and talk football? Before you edited that last post you used the term brisket, ain’t no one around these parts eat brisket.
  25. Yeah, in a way you can’t imagine. Know your route, there are some one way streets that will put you in tough neighborhoods if you get stuck on one. I-20 borders the back and there is no easy access to a ramp in which to catch it. If you miss the first turn off you will be forced to drive laterally. You will not like the scenery. And there is zero police presence away from the dome. One walk around the place will tell you all you need to know about conceal carry. And always walk in groups to and from your car. Lots of panhandling going on, from all types. Those that ask and move on, no problem. Unfortunately there are also those that use the intimidation method. Most mean no harm, they just know it makes people uncomfortable and will throw em some cash. Once near the actual facility there is enough of a police presence to go about your business in relative safety. Like many such facilities they have a good way of keeping bad news out of the press. And never ending construction. Just because a street is open today doesn’t mean shit tomorrow.
